Is it really that bad?

[Fogol]

Im on Rippetoes and is it really THAT bad if i workout 2 consecutive days??

Here's the problem, my schools gym is only open monday-thursday so i cant do something like Monday-Wednesday-Friday as recommended in the program and now that its winter i ski every monday night which only leaves me tuesday-thursday to work out. Is it that bad if i workout those 3 consecutive days? or do i just need a new routine?

You're going to have haters and nay sayers. But what it comes down to is personal belief and results. If you're seeing gains or progress stick with it. Your body will tell you when enough is enough.

Working the same muscles three days straight at ME is probably not going to yeild gains because your muscles grow while you are resting, and if you are not resting you're probably not going to grow.

Quality advice right there.

ok thanks, My scheduale is going to be even weirder now because i have rugby.

Just a question, how much of a beginner program is this? Like ive been around the weight room for a while and im that much of a beginner. maybe when it comes to the amount i lift ( im a small guy 5'3.5" 130lbs) but i understand excersises and ive had trainers and coachs compliment me on my form before. Im just wondering if i should run WS4SB instead of this.

Someone new can't be squatting 3, or even 2 consecutive days. You'll have to reorganize your routine to fit the time limitations.

Consider Monday a Leg workout, skiing is an overall body workout. Snowboarding all day or night was for me at least.

Monday: Ski
Tuesday: Max Upper Body. Guessing your new, I suggest sticking to just Flat or Incline Bench (don't ignore the dumbbells), Pull-Ups, and maybe a quick arm work-out.
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Max Lower Body. Squats and Deadlifts. Keep the reps low and work hard, break a damn sweat please.
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Grease the Groove, do random push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, one legged pistols, through-out the day and have fun with it. Yes working out is fun.
Sunday: Rest

Don't forget proper nutrition so you're always energized and ready to go. Don't cheat yourself. Just so you know I am no way in hell a fitness guru but I do have some knowledge, hopefully that helped you out some.

Quit being a pussy!! Its not bad to work out 2 consecutive days just don't don't go balls to the walls both days!! I am a former varsity wrestler and we would go balls to the walls for 7 days in a row.

Thank you! OP has been waiting seven years for someone to misread his post and insult him.

Not only that, he now knows he can finally ramp up his training.
